One Minute To 2010
What can I say? The year came and went. If you came up to me, I’d happily be the first to tell you that I’ve enjoyed it thoroughly, I have. It was different, it was tough, and despite the hardships and strenuous adversities, I’m in no place to complain. What I am worthy of doing, is being grateful.
For all the things I’ve discovered about myself, the friends I’ve...
Bold the things you've done in '09.
Payed for someone who said they would pay you back but never did.
Stayed up all night thinking about the worst thing that could possibly happen to later find out that you worried for nothing.
Done something illegal.
Did something you said you would never do.
Lied about where you were.
Discovered a new musician.
Made something for a friend.
Got a new phone.
Got a new iPod/Zune/Mp3 player.

The Subtle End
I have to admit, this year’s December wasn’t as spectacular as I really wanted it to be. Started the month superbly with Elle’s birthday though! For those who came along to surprise her, I’m sure it’s still beautifully fresh in your memories, but if you need a reminder, clicketyclick! That was the weekend before our exams and my God, it was well enjoyed. On Sunday,...

"No way November will see our goodbye."
Hardest month of the year by far. To think October would’ve been enough was something naive since the coming month was double the load. School, oh school, why did you have to pile that much work on us at the same time? I’m starting to become convinced that even though they say they’re prepping us for next year’s grind, they’re doing it with no coordination....

Head Spinning
October. Holy shiz, where do I begin? If I could compare that month to one thing, no doubt it’d be like I was on a massive roller coaster (wanted to title this post “Roller Coaster” but thought it was too cliché, so props to Dita for coming up with the final title). Well the month started out with Gerry’s birthday! We went out to fX and saw Never Back Down… Hahah,...

Tremors ;)
You may think that having the month start out with one of the biggest earthquakes Jakarta’s had in years be scary. Not for us, y’all! Well we’re weird and awesomely twisted that way, so ‘course we found it to be wicked ;). This was Wednesday, September 2nd after school. I had finished getting everything from me locker and was waiting with Elle for the other English class to...

August Rush
All of us started feeling the 10th grade changes early on, but that’s not something to be surprised about; school hours were longer, more rules (obviously), more classes, more competition, more work. We handled it well for the first few weeks - even though the adjustment wasn’t easy - because we also found time to fit in some fun. Had one of the best Friday nights celebrating...

Summer and High School
All the fun lasted well into July, and on the 3rd the girls surprised (or shall we say crashed) Nt’s place uninvited… Oops. We only stayed for a while though before leaving for Plaza Senayan, but it was still uber fun ;). On the 7th, we all came to celebrate Mario’s birthday which was awesome! I like to call it our ‘old school’ day because what can top having lunch at...

Middle School and Summer
9th grade officially ended on June the 2nd and immediately after the last exam, we shed our vests and beautifully vandalized them. For each of us, the once hideous brown piece of clothing they call a uniform became something we would miss and a memory we’d keep for life :)
I cancelled my trip to the U.S. this year for complicated reasons, and as much as I wish I could’ve gone, I...

M-M-May!
This time around wasn’t such a hectic month; it was really laid back actually. Early on, V had won his first race of the season in Jerez, and made for one of his best quotes: “I was fucking fast!”. Yeeeah he was ;). School was about to end and we weren’t loaded with too much work (psssh, how we’d love to be able to say that now). During one of our counseling classes, we all stuck a piece of paper...

April's fragile little fool ;)
As early April hit, that always meant that the triple attack of birthdays would be a comin’. Bryant turned 15 on the 6th, while on the 8th we shunned Mita for the whole day before singing her happy birthday at the very last minute when school ended. We love you, Mit :). On the 10th, little miss Inca finally reached her dream age ;). This year they all wanted to celebrate, so I think it was within...

March and fifteen.
I love it when March comes around. For some reason I can never call it my favorite month, but when your birthday’s just around the corner there’s always something special :). The term was about to come to an end and it was Project Week. I had a hard time figuring out where I wanted to go for many reasons, and so I ended up staying at school. Right now it sounds lame, but hey, I got to...

Believe it or not, the start of 2009 was… Empty. Well, things are never that dull, but for some reason I can’t remember a single ‘big’ thing that happened in January. It was the start of our last semester in Middle School, so I guess we were all pumped about coming back to spend another 6 months in our MS vests? Anyway, I had a kick-ass New Years, as always, and January to...

Rewind!
Crazy y’all. The year’s coming to an end and it flew right by. As much as I’m supa dupa looking forward to 2010 (because we’ve already even got things lined up for January! ISYF, Rama & Sita, Boys Like Girls concert :D), leaving ‘09 behind feels… Heavy. Just cause it was such a damn good year with countless incredible things that happened, I don’t...

Attempting Escape
Pressured.
About 2 weeks ago I guess, I had a conversation with Inca and she wondered if we’re ever going to get used to being this loaded or if it’ll just keep getting worse. My thoughts are starting to head in the same direction too, and it’s not allowing me to catch a break. Yeah, I say it over and over again, and sooner or later y’all are probably gonna get sick of my...

"But I know the heart of life is good."
It may not have been the most dramatic, but it was definitely the most heartwarming Friday we’ve had in a while :). Now, the week that led up to it though was… Where should I start? Draining, grueling, sleep depriving, stressful, pressuring… There aren’t enough adjectives. In total (yes, officially counted), I wrote approximately 7008 words, all essays. Crazy, but we all...
December 3, 2009
I say it all the time, and I can’t say it enough, but this would be the first time in a while that I say how EPIC school was. From our 10A-conducted assembly, which may I add, won Most Creative on the spot because of our ‘Dependability’ video (huge credit to Mita). To having Ms Donna give us free time (once in a lifetime, here), more free time in Math and Bahasa, the earthquake...
